The New York Times’s article “Army Doctor Held in Ft. Hood Rampage” by Robert D. McFadden

It is very horrifying and devastating about what has happened in Fort Hood Army post in central Texas, and I feel very sorry for the victims’ families. The gunman, Major Nidal Malik Hasan himself a psychiatrist trained to help others’ mental health, has “killed 13 people and wounded 30 others” according to The New York Times’s article “Army Doctor Held in Ft. Hood Rampage” by Robert D. McFadden. It’s another shooting rampage since the incident at Virginia Tech in 2007. The gunman has been shot four times and was hospitalized. In the day of this incident, some journalistic reports have misled the information about the rampage, but it was quickly corrected according to the Times’s article. At this devastating moment, people can not be misinformed about the incident; people need to know the facts about the incident, so they can give some proper response to it.
I think racial discrimination, prejudice, and pressures from military life led Hasan to kill many of his comrades. Hasan might have built up this pressures and stresses during his military life to the point that he couldn’t take it anymore, and finally he exploded himself and turned himself into a merciless killer. President Obama has given some comment on this crisis. He said that “‘to get answers to every single question about this horrible incident’”, and also I believe that we shouldn’t just hurriedly reach to the conclusion about the incident, and we need to get some basic facts right, so the incident will be effectively resolved.
